Oh, the mathematical trickery on display! This sneaky proof starts with the correct premise that a=b, but then through a series of seemingly innocent algebraic steps, arrives at the preposterous conclusion that 2=1! The fatal flaw? When we have a=b, then (a-b)=0, and in the step where we divide by (a-b), we're secretly dividing by zero! GASP! That's like trying to split zero cookies among zero friends—mathematically catastrophic but philosophically fascinating! No wonder those cartoon characters look so pleased with themselves. They've just broken mathematics and probably the universe too. If 2=1, I could pay half my bills and be fully caught up! My laboratory budget would suddenly double! *cackles maniacally while scribbling equations*
